An atom's mass is determined by its protons and neutrons.
An atom's charge is determined by its number of protons minus it number of electrons.
Atoms become cations, or positively charged when they lose an electron, and since electrons have a negative charge, they become anions, or negatively charged.
Water is a universal solvent.
Carbohydrates (carbs) are used by the body for energy.
Steroids and triglycerides are lipids.
Proteins that catalyze chemical reactions are called enzymes.
Answer:
No, tobacco companies do not reuse tobacco in their cigarettes, I also did some extra research to make sure I wasn’t giving a false answer
Thanks!
Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 
d) 
Explanation:
For neutral atoms:
Atomic Number (Z)= number of protons = number of electrons
Mass number (A) = number of protons + number of neutrons
For ions with positive net charge:
Number of protons = Z + net charge
For ions with negative net charge:
Number of protons= Z - net charge
a) A = 71, Charge = +3
Number of electrons = 28
Number of protons = 28 +3 =31
b) A = 35, Z = 45+35=80, Charge = -1
Number of protons =35
Number of neutrons = 45
Number of electrons = 36
Charge = Number of protons- Number of electrons =35-36 = -1
c) Charge = +4
Number of electrons = 86
Number of protons = Z = 86+4 = 90
mass number = A = 90+142 = 232
d) Charge = +2
Atomic number = Number of protons = Z = 38
mass number = A = 87
Answer:
b) Gain or lose electrons
Explanation:
An ion is an electrically charged particle. For an atom to be charged, it must have gained or lost electron in the process and therefore, it becomes an ion.
The loss or gain of electrons is what makes an atom charged and eventually becomes an ion.
A positively charged ion is one that has lost an electron and it is called a cation. In such an ion, the number of electrons are lesser than those of protons. This is why they are cations
A negatively charged ion is one that has gained electrons. They are called anions. In such an ion, the number of electrons are greater than that of protons.
Earth isn’t likely going to be running out of gold for around 50-100 years
